This ts the story I was told. public market with a SHOOK HANDS WITH THE PRO- FESSOR. I was riding on a Columbus Avenue ®ar at 1 o'clock this afternoon, when Prof. Bort Reese, the great mind reader, whot. I had not seen in thirty-two ‘Years, entered and sat beside me. He ts now eighty-two years of ago, but seems “as agile as a boy and carries a emile that cheers every one who meets him, A consider It a sign of good luck to have met him, for he is renowned all over the eivilized world for his mind-reading feats that have baffled scientists such Qs Thomas A.

I was attending the regular Thursday evening lecture on Journalism at New York University, No. 32 Waverley Place, when Prof. Lee of the Journalism De- partment advised students to find profit and practice by entering the “What Did You See" contest.

Ten minutes passed and an operator tn- formed me he had not gone, and | walked toward him to emphisize my remarks. Then he spoke out: “Whatena fdea? Y' culled me up this mornin’ to fix your chairs." The laugh surely was on me.—Gerald Lichtrnan, No. 4269 Broadway. WHILE EUROPE TOTTERS. Two high school boys seated next to me this morning in a Lerington Avenue subway train were carrying on a peated dispute which the roar of the trai prevented me from hearing, However I did hear final- ty a shout of “You're a Nar!” from one, Then he turned to me to sot- tle the matter in dispute, asking, “Waa tt Irish Meusel of the Giants or Bob Meusel of the Yanks who hit @ home run with two on baset’— Alois Koneony jr., No. 480 Lafayette Street.

As far as I could see, she did not pay out so much as a penny, and determining to get to the bottom of the mystery I proceeded to Pry SEND NO MONEY!
